Plumcake

The Plum Cake is a rather unknown cake, which is often confused with the plum cake. The Plum Cake is baked in a rectangular cake baking pan and at 160 degrees for 1 ½ hours. The Plum Cake is a cake that can be eaten throughout the year and at any time of the day or night. Whether it is for afternoon coffee, a birthday or still for the winter festivities. However, the cake tastes best if you bake it 1-2 days before eating it.

:150 g raisins90
g dried ginger cubes90 g
dried plums, diced2-3 tbsp



rum50g


almonds, chopped100g



granulated sugar100 g






butter1
pinch of salt3
eggsPeratedzest of









1 lemon180g










flour1
tsp baking powder

Here's how:
Put the fruit and the ginger overnight in rum, so you get a delicious, soaked rum note. Separate the egg whites, of all three eggs, from the yolks and beat the egg whites until they are foamy and firm. Stir the butter until soft, add the sugar and the egg yolks and beat for about 10 minutes on medium speed until foamy. Now carefully fold the egg white mixture into the foam. Mix the flour and baking powder together and add to the liquid mixture with the lemon zest. Now add the preserved fruit and the almonds and your dough is ready. Take your cellulose baking pan and fill the dough into the pan. Now you can bake the cake at top/bottom heat and 160 degrees for 90 minutes. It is important that the cake is baked on the lowest rack. If the cake gets dark on the surface, you can put a baking paper over the cake and continue baking.
To test if the cake is done, you can do the chopstick test. To do this, poke a toothpick through to the bottom of the cake, pull it out, and when no more dough sticks to it, the cake is done. 

The plum cake without plums

Plumcake is a plum cake that consisted of at least 50% dried fruit. The name comes from the fruits that were called plum at that time, which were not plums as one would derive, but raisins and currants. Therefore, today this cake is more often called Black Cake, as black cake or Fruit Cake, a fruit cake. The Plum Cake was made with a pound of flour, sugar, butter and eggs, plus 4 to 5 pounds of fruit. This cake was baked in England for large occasions and was enough for 50 people, as the cake was very filling.
In England, the Plum Cake was a symbol of hospitality when noble people came to visit. This gesture was not continued since the 18th century, but was revived in 1957 at the time of the young Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh.
